It’s not inevitable. Though that’s what the big clubs keep saying in the hope it will be endlessly repeated and become a self-fulfilling prophecy

Don't you sometimes wish they'd just go and do it though? Leave the English league to return to some sort of sanity? I think the championship is the 4th most watched in Europe and most of the clubs in it are p1ssing money right left and centre, sad really.

His proposals will probably include removing the collective deal, its no accident he bought Leeds with his media background.

Of course - which is what the majority of people on this thread seem to miss out on. It’s nothing to do with just a name change. It’s the ability to breakaway from the current EFL deal and negotiate its own. I would be surprised if it didn’t end up with a lot more TV revenue than it does now if that happened.

Well the thirty minutes are almost up Swindon fans but your not there yet. in it goes (yyyyyyeeeessssssss) ooohhh its gone in, Brighton in added on time have snatched a goal through Virgo!!! Incredible!! Once again there is late, late, late drama in the playoffs!!

The collective deal in L1 & 2 is 'peanuts'. Even if you took it all away dividing that up between the Champ clubs isn't going to materially change their finances (or have I missed a key point?)

It could be an interesting battle in a few years time if this breakaway happens.

Sky have already got some competition in the form of BT. If Amazon / Google whoever else decide to lump in significantly Sky could well find themselves with a lot of monied competition. At that point going in large on PL2 would likely be a feasible option.

That was a calculated position taken by TB to get us promoted - huge difference being that it was his own money he was prepared to chuck at it. If we'd failed, I've no doubt at all the loan from TB would have been increased to fund them.
